Welcome to TIP. ABC, CBS, NBC and all the cable news channels are all bought and paid for and report what they are told to report. The MSM lies to and instigates people into political argument and gossip that leads to dead-end roads and distracts from the real issues.

An Australian court has begun the trial of the most senior Vatican official that has ever been charged in Catholic Church sex abuse scandals.

Australia’s highest-ranking Catholic and Pope Francis’ top financial adviser, Cardinal George Pell, made his first court appearance on Wednesday after being charged last month with sexual abuse of multiple individuals years earlier in his Australian home state of Victoria.

While the details of the charges against the 76-year-old cleric — who has maintained his innocence — are yet to be revealed to the public, police have described them as historical sexual assault offenses, which means the alleged crimes happened years ago.

The development came after Australia’s Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse revealed earlier this year that seven percent of Catholic priests were accused of having sexually abused children across Australia over the past several decades.’

Perhaps few people know that Pietro Beretta arms factory Ltd. (the largest arms industry in the world) and is controlled by the Holding SpA Beretta and the majority shareholder of the Beretta Holding SpA after Gussalli Ugo Beretta, is the IOR (Institute for Works of Religion [commonly known as the Vatican Bank]) private institution founded in 1942 by Pope Pius XII and headquartered in Vatican City.

‘The successor to Father Gabriele Amorth, the Vatican’s former chief exorcist for 25 years, has come out in condemnation of fantasy novels and yoga, declaring both to cause demonic possession. Speaking to The Independent (UK), Father Cesare Truqui explained how the Roman Catholic Church has seen a steady uptick in reports of demonic possession all around the world, and that popular culture pastimes like reading Harry Potter novels and engaging in Vinyasa are largely to blame.’

Like this:

The Black Nobility or Black Aristocracy (Italian: “nobiltà nera” or “aristocrazia nera”) are Roman aristocratic families who sided with the Papacy under Pope Pius IX after the Savoy family-led army of the Kingdom of Italy entered Rome on September 20, 1870, overthrew the Pope and the Papal States, and took over the Quirinal Palace, and any nobles subsequently ennobled by the Pope prior to the 1929 Lateran Treaty. For the next 59 years, the Pope confined himself to Vatican City and claimed to be a prisoner in the Vatican to avoid the appearance of accepting the authority of the new Italian government and state. Aristocrats who had been ennobled by the Pope and were formerly subjects of the Papal states, including the senior members of the Papal Court, kept the doors of their palaces in Rome closed to mourn the Pope’s confinement, which led to their being called the “Black Nobility”.

Despite the relatively recent name, the Black Nobility had existed for centuries, originating in the Baronal class of Rome and in the powerful families who moved to Rome to benefit from a family connection to the Vatican. These supported the Popes in the governance of the Papal States and in the administration of the Holy See. Many of the members of Black Noble families also became high-ranking clergy and even Popes. Black Nobility families (in this instance families whose ancestors included Popes) still in existence include notably the Colonna, Massimo, Orsini, Pallavicini, Borghese, Odescalchi, and Ludovisi. Schiaratura familly. Major extinct papal families include the Savelli, Caetani, the Aldobrandini family and Conti. Famous members of Black Nobility families include Eugenio Pacelli, who later became Pope Pius XII, Ernesto Pacelli, an important financier and Prospero Colonna, mayor of Rome.

The Vatican City is the heart of the Catholic church and the Pope (Pontifex Maximus) is the head of the church and the supreme “spiritual” leader of all of the world’s Catholics. But the Vatican hides some of the darkest secrets one can imagine.

Sedes Sacrorum – Etymology

Sedes Sacrorum (Latin for Holy Seat), known as the Holy See in English, is the seal of the Vatican City State.

Sedes Sacrorum (SS)

“The Roman Cult* which controls the Catholic Church maintains that the first person to use the concept of the Holy See was St. Peter.

This of course, is impossible as the etymology of the word “Sedes” (See) and its associated meaning were not in existence until hundreds of years after the execution of St. Peter in 70 CE at the Siege of Jerusalem.” [1]

*The Roman Cult is a shadow group of blood-thirsty satanists, which was involved in “child sacrifice, burning people alive (since 11th Century CE), demonic worship and absolute celibacy of its lowest priests.

Since the 1st Century BCE, its high priests known as ‘Pontiffs’ — a hereditary position controlled by a handful of ancient families — claimed the ancient pre-Republic title of Pontifex Maximus after the Roman Emperors assumed themselves as high priest of the state cult of Magna Mater (Cybele).

Pope’s Francis
Coat of Arms

Jealously guarding their pagan heritage and right to sacrifice people to their demon gods, the priestly families were banished from Rome more than once along with the closure of the Vatican temple.

However, during the tumultuous periods in Roman history after the collapse of Rome as the center of the Empire, the pagan high priests assumed the role as community leaders in Rome and during more than one period, openly returned to their pagan practices of child sacrifice, cannibalism and demonic worship as late as 590 to 752, 847 to 872 and even as late as 896, 1057.” [2]
“Under Pope Innocent VIII, the role of the Inquisition and Inquisitor changed to increase their legal and spiritual authority when dispatching ‘heretics’.

Around 1483 Tomás de Torquemada was named Inquisidor General of Aragón, Valencia and Catalonia. His torturers and special militia were then blessed with being sworn into the highest sacred order of the Roman Cult — the SS or the Knights of the Sedes Sacrorum.

As a military order of the Roman Catholic Church, the Knights of the Sedes Sacrorum (SS) were bestowed by the legal orders of the Roman Pontiff on behalf of the Mother Church to wage constant Holy Inquisition against all ‘heretics’, including assassinations, torture and counter-intelligence, to protect the name of the Holy Roman Catholic Church and directly represent the interests of the Holy See as its primary order of Holy Knights — the SS (Sedes Sacrorum or Holy See).

As a spiritual order of the Roman Catholic Church, the SS — were bestowed with the extraordinary Roman Catholic grace of being forgiven for all their mortal sins (therefore can go to Heaven) that “unfortunately” must be done in order to observe its temporal orders.

In others words, the troops of the Grand Inquisitor Tomás de Torquemada were the first religious military order to be granted “immunity” from Hell by the Pope on account of its acts of torture, terror and evil.

The last open satanic ritual sacrifices under the Holy Inquisition was in the early 19th Century. By the beginning of the 20th Century, there were less than a few hundred SS soldiers still assigned to the Holy Inquisition.

However, upon the appointment of Fr Heinrich Himmler S.J. in 1929 to the NSDAP in Germany, a new Nazi SS (Knights of the Sedes Sacrorum) Army of several hundred thousand was created by 1939 to wage the single greatest Inquisition ever undertaken by the Roman Cul t– with over 18 million innocent people burned alive in ovens in Russia and Poland.

The German SS were disbanded at the end of World War II, with the Roman Scroll of the SS being handed to the United States SS (Secret Service/Sedes Sacrorum) by 1945. The United States SS was officially created into a military/spiritual force after the assassination of President William McKinley in 1901.

After the staged gun-fight outside Blair House in 1950, the United States SS have had absolute protection of the President of the United States, holding him a virtual prisoner of the State under the guise of official protection.” [3]

The Hidden Code of the SS

by “god” in flying ship

Both the SS and Pope’s Francis coat of arms have the papal mitre in the center, which is a head cover worn by the cardinals and the pope and dates back to the Dagon priests, more than 4,500 years ago.

Seen from the side, the mitre looks like a fish head with open mouth, and this is exactly what it represents. It is the worship of the fish “god”, who allegedly came out of the water and offered great knowledge to the people. The “christian” fish logo represents the same Dagon “god”.

Dagon or Oannes was “a fish god who imparted great knowledge to the people. He taught them how to build cities. He also taught them math and geometric laws, and was credited with giving them all the knowledge that they would ever receive.

At night, he would go back into the sea to spend the night, because he was amphibious. He had the head of a man; covered by the head of a fish, and had the legs and feet of a man and the torso of a man, but was covered by the scales and tail of a fish.” – Berossus; from ancient fragments (Isaac Preston Cory) [4]

According to the “Lost Book of Enki“, the fish “god” was none other than Ea (later known as Enki), who landed his massive space ship on water — from which he emerged and built the first settlement for the Anunnaki on Earth (Enki was either wearing a space suit, or he is depicted in non-human form.Fascinating!). He named it Edin (the Biblical Eden), which meant “Home of the Gods”.

(It was in the Edin that the city Eridu was established, which meant “the home from afar.” The name, later “migrated” into all major cultures of the world. It was known as Erde in German, Ertz in Kurdish, Eretz in Hebrew and Erthe in Middle English. This means that we still call our planet “the home from afar” to this day). [5]

The founder of this religion was Nimrod — the king of Shinar and the great-grandson of Noah / Ziusudra, which in turn was the son of Enki by an earthling — hence of “royal” Anunnaki blood. Many of today’s “royal” bloodlines are descendants of Nimrod.

The keys found on both logos and the way they are positioned, refer to a diligently guarded secret. In symbolism, the key represents locked knowledge and/or guarded secrets. But what secrets is the Vatican protecting? The way the keys are positioned is only a small clue, indecipherable to the common people.

Fortunately, the hidden code of the Vatican has been cracked by writer and researcher Wayne Herschel, basing his research on the pictogram puzzle found in the “Key of Solomon” manuscripts.

The Key of Solomon unlocks the mystery behind the home constellations of the “gods”, and it will be of no surprise to my readers to identify them as the Orion’s belt and the Pleiades…the same two constellations pointed out by all advanced civilizations as the home of the gods, and obsessively worshiped by the “elite” ever since.

Above: the Orion’s belt, the Pleiades and the star of Ra (a.k.a. Marduk)
Bellow: The Vatican represents Orion’s belt, while the Seven Hills of Rome
represent the Pleiades. The triangle formed by the Egyptian obelisks found in
the Piazza del Popolo and in front of the Pantheon, together with Castel Sant’Angelo
(used including by the Roman Inquisition as prison for “heretics”), represents
the Trinity stars. The Star Fortress also represents the star of Ra (Marduk).

Further deciphering the secrets of the SS, I will now submit to your attention the cross, which to them probably represents the cross formed by the stars of the Orion constellation. Another theory refers to the cross as representing another of their alleged homes, Nibiru (literally meaning, the planet of the crossing). [6]

The Chi-Rho “Christian” symbol represents the constellations of Orion and the Pleiades:

On Pope’s Francis Coat of Arms we can also observe: a sun, an eight-pointed star and a pine cone.

The sun probably represents the star of the gods (presented by Ra/Marduk as his home star).

The eight pointed star represents Melchizedek, who was the king of Salem and a priest of the “highest of all gods”. Some theologians have supposed him to have been Shem, the son of Noah/Ziusudra, and grandfather of Nimrod (which later became the king of Shinar and priest of the fish god, as I have previously explained). In Masonry, Melchizedek is connected with the degree of High Priesthood (high mason rank). [7]

The pine cone is a symbolic depiction of the pineal gland, which is also known as the third eye and the Egyptian eye of Horus:

In conclusion, the Vatican is not a place of love and peace, as one might imagine. It is a place of dark rituals and great secrecy.

Their purpose is to enslave the human species through indoctrination, fear and control. And because people fear what they don’t understand, the influence of the Vatican and the Catholic church is immense — greater than any army, tyrant or government. They are also the greatest financial power on Earth and they will continue to exercise their influence for as long as the human species will continue to sleep.

Claims have been made of a ‘gay network’ among some Vatican priests and Swiss Guards. Photograph: Filippo Monteforte/EPA

A former commander of the Swiss Guard, the small force of men whose job it is to protect the pope, has said there is “a network of homosexuals” within the Vatican, the latest in a series of claims about gay priests working at the heart of the Roman Catholic church.

Elmar Mäder, who was commandant of the Guard from 2002 until 2008, said his time at the heart of the Vatican had given him an insight into certain aspects of life there. “I cannot refute the claim that there is a network of homosexuals. My experiences would indicate the existence of such a thing,” he told the Swiss newspaper Schweiz am Sonntag.

Famed for their striking uniforms of blue, red and orange, recruits to the Guard swear to protect the pope and his successors with their lives.

Mäder, 50, from the canton of St Gallen, refused to comment on speculation that he had warned guardsmen about the behaviour of certain priests.

Earlier this month, the same newspaper reported the claims of a former, unnamed member of the Guard that he had been the target of more than 20 “unambiguous sexual requests” from clergy while serving in the force.

Recounting a dinner in a Rome restaurant, the man was quoted as saying: “As the spinach and steak were served, the priest said to me: ‘And you are the dessert’.”

At the time, spokesman Urs Breitenmoser said the rumoured gay network did not pose a problem to the Swiss Guard, whose members he said were motivated by entirely different interests.

Asked about the claims, Mäder reportedly said stories of this kind “obviously lacking in factual basis” were sometimes told. But the facts remained clear, he added. ”

A working environment in which the great majority of men are unmarried is per se a draw for homosexuals, whether they consciously seek it out or unconsciously follow an urge,” he said.

VATICAN CITY ROME (VaticanCrimes) – July 21, 2013 – The mother of all abominations on Earth is at it again: The Vatican has just found a way to make it illegal to report sexual abuse, and found a conniving way to do it without the general public noticing.

IB Times highlighted the facts in a revealing article July 20, detailing how few eyebrows were raised last week when Jorge Bergoglio (otherwise known as “Pope Francis” brought the Vatican’s legal system up to date by criminalizing leaks of official information and formalizing laws against sex crimes. But now that the laws have been made public, a closer look revealed that the pope has made it illegal to report sex crimes against children.

According to the new laws, revealing or receiving confidential Vatican information is now punishable by up to two years in prison, while newly defined sex crimes against children carry a sentence of up to twelve years. Because all sex crimes are kept confidential, there is no longer a legal way for Vatican officials to report sex crimes.

“We didn’t mean for this to happen, obviously,” lamented Vatican foreign minister Monsignor Dominique Mamberti. “It’s quite the papal pickle that His Holiness has placed upon our heads. Sex crimes are more illegal than ever, but technically it’s illegal to report them.” Mamberti said that the simultaneous passing of each law is merely a coincidence and insisted that the Catholic Church is not trying to protect itself against further embarrassment, but critics outside the Vatican are skeptical.

“They know exactly what they’re doing,” claims Fabrizio Perona of Italy’s LaRepubblica newspaper. “They just thought nobody would notice. The Catholic Church wants to impress the world by appearing to get tough on sex crimes, but they criminalized leaks, which is the only way anybody would ever discover their crimes. It’s genius, if you stop and think about it.”

Mamberti says plans are already being made to eliminate the loophole, but change often comes slowly to antiquated Vatican law, which is based on the 1889 Italian code. “We’re not going to let a dangerous law like this stand, but people need to understand that this is the Vatican, and there is a process here. Voting, incense, prayer.”

Most people are not aware of the crimens sollicitiationis order that the Vatican has had in place for decades to protect pederast priests. We invite our dear readers to read this detailed document on how each archdiocese worldwide has been instructed to silence the victims and to protect the criminal priest at all costs: You can view an English version of this Latin Document here.

One thing is certain, the criminal organization known as the Catholic Church can not run from just retribution of the Living God that is about to manifest for all the crimes they have committed. He’s already here.

As the man charged with cleaning out the stables at the scandal-struck Vatican bank, Monsignor Battista Ricca will need Machiavellian cunning, good fortune and a whiter-than-white record to have even a fighting chance.

But Pope Francis’s new banker appears to possess none of these attributes after it was reported yesterday that he was found stuck in a lift with a rent boy. Msgr Ricca, as Francis’s new primate with responsibility for the troubled financial institution, known officially as the IoR (Institute for Religious Works), is supposed to usher in new transparency and badly needed reforms after years of financial scandal.

A day ahead of the papal conclave, faces at the scandal-struck Vatican were even redder than usual after it emerged that the Holy See had purchased a €23 million (£21 million) share of a Rome apartment block that houses Europe’s biggest gay sauna.

The senior Vatican figure sweating the most due to the unlikely proximity of the gay Europa Multiclub is probably Cardinal Ivan Dias, the head of the Congregation for Evangelisation of Peoples, who is due to participate in tomorrow’s election at the Sistine Chapel.

This 76-year-old “prince of the church” enjoys a 12-room apartment on the first-floor of the imposing palazzo, at 2 Via Carducci, just yards from the ground floor entrance to the steamy flesh pot. There are 18 other Vatican apartments in the block, many of which house priests.

The Holy See is still reeling from allegations that the previous pontiff, Benedict XVI, had quit in reaction to the presence of a gay cabal in the curia.

And with disgraced Scottish cardinal Keith O’Brien lending new weight to charges of hypocrisy against the Church’s stance on homosexuality, La Repubblica newspaper noted that the presence of “Italy’s best known gay sauna in the premises is an embarrassment”.

Cardinal Dias, who is seen as a social conservative even by the current standards of the church hierarchy, is no doubt horrified to learn of the activities taking place a floor below.

It is not known, however, if the former archbishop of Bombay has popped downstairs to give spitiual guidances to the clients of the Europa Multiclub, given his belief that gays and lesbians can be cured of their “unnatural tendencies” through the “sacrement of penance”.

The sauna’s website promotes one of its special “bear nights”, with a video in which a rotund, hairy man strips down before changing into a priest’s outfit. It says Bruno, “a hairy, overweight pastor of souls, is free to the music of his clergyman, remaining in a thong, because he wants to expose body and soul”.

There was further embarrassment for the Holy See when the press observed that thanks to generous tax breaks it received from the last Berlusconi government, the church will have avoided hefty payments to the Italian state. The properties are recognised as part of the Holy City.

Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, Pope Emeritus Benedict’s widely disliked right-hand man, who held the Vatican’s purse strings during the last pontificate, was said to have been the brains behind the purchase of 2 Via Carduccio in 2008.

Readers on Italian gay websites were quick to make jokes at the cardinals’ expense. One on the Gay.it site quipped: “’Oops, I took the wrong door, I thought it was the chapel.’…If you can’t go to the gay sauna for fear of being seen what do you do if you have millions of Euros stolen from Italians? You buy the apartment block with the sauna inside.”

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) – Vatican officials on Wednesday told cardinals gathered for the election of the next pope to stop speaking to the media, as further indications emerged that a conclave would not start early next week as had been expected.

American cardinals who had been scheduled to hold their third media briefing in as many days cancelled it less than an hour before it was to have started at Rome’s North American College, where they are residing.

A spokeswoman for the American cardinals said “concern” was expressed at Wednesday’s closed-door meeting “about leaks of confidential proceedings reported in Italian newspapers”.

More than 150 cardinals attended the third day of the preliminary meetings to sketch a profile for the next pope following the shock abdication of Pope Benedict last month. All but two of the 115 “cardinal electors” aged under 80 have arrived for the meetings, the Vatican said.

In their briefings, the American cardinals did not disclose specifics but spoke generally about the proceedings as well as of their hopes and concerns about the state of the Catholic Church at a crucial time in its history.

The preliminary meetings are taking place as the crisis involving sexual abuse of children by priests and inappropriate behaviour among adult clerics continues to haunt the Church and has rarely been out of the headlines.

Asked about the cancellation of the U.S. briefing, Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi said the pre-conclave meetings, known as general congregations, had to take place in a “climate of confidentiality”.

Lombardi said the preparation by the cardinals towards the conclave “is a path in which the college of cardinals reflects in order to reach a decision, in conscience, of each of the members for the election of the Roman Pontiff”.

Cardinals from other countries have also been speaking to the media informally on the streets near the Vatican but the Americans were the only group holding daily formal briefings.

SISTINE CHAPEL

The cancellation of the briefing means the only official source of information would come from a daily briefing by the Vatican spokesman.

The spokeswoman for the Americans said: “As a precaution, the (U.S.) cardinals have agreed not to do interviews.”

Under Church law the cardinals have until March 20 to start a conclave to choose a new pope to lead the 1.2 billion-member Church.

While many observers had expected the conclave to begin as early as this Sunday or Monday, there have been increasing indications that the cardinals want more time to ponder who among them might be best to lead a Church beset by crises.

Several of the prelates leaving the meetings said preliminary proceedings were still at the early stages and more time would be necessary before they could decide on when to start the conclave in the Sistine Chapel.

Workmen have begun preparing the chapel, building a new, suspended floor to protect the centuries-old tiles.

Nonetheless, the Vatican spokesman said it was important that no one felt “pressured” into going into the conclave before they were ready and that more time would be needed for “reflection”.

One cardinal leaving the meeting said there had been no formal discussion on Wednesday of the so-called “Vatileaks” scandal, which led to the arrest of Paolo Gabriele, the pope’s butler, further besmirching the Church’s reputation.

Gabriele was convicted of stealing personal papal documents and leaking them to the media. The documents alleged corruption and infighting over the running of its bank.

A trio of elderly cardinals prepared a report on the scandal for Benedict, who later pardoned Gabriele, and a number of cardinals attending the preliminary meetings said they wanted to be briefed on the report.

Recently, I’ve been reflecting on what all this bombardment of rocks from the heavens portends. Today I want to head down a different, but probably related, path.

I’m going to ask you to just bear with me as we go through this. There will be a lot of questions popping up, but I’m going to start with several core assumptions for this story.

Assumption number one: there is a God.

Another assumption: this God is best represented by certain types of people.

Another assumption: since people cannot know anything for sure, they must have faith that these representatives can stand in for the all-knowing power of God. These champions therefore best represent humanity and are above the law because of their intimate association with God.

What’s with all these assumptions? Well, I’m just venturing into bizzaro world for a minute, to see what it must be like to live there.

Let’s begin with the Pope. The Pope is a well known pedophile sympathizer whose ‘sacred city’ – the Vatican, planted on Earth by God – serves to protect men who hunger for children’s bodies and souls. Is this the Kingdom of Heaven that Jesus spoke of, where people who torture children physically, sexually, and emotionally, and those who protect them, are offered holy sanctuary?

What generally happens when people like the Lakota, the Palestinians, the Africans, the Yemenis, the Guatemalans, the Kurds, and many other groups make pleas for safe harbor, is that they are hunted down and killed. Are we to understand that God’s representatives’ silence of these peoples’ plights means that these people don’t deserve to exist? Through God’s silence, the people of the world don’t have to listen to their wails of anguish. Instead, they emulate the pedophile’s champion – the Pope – cloaked in his robe of holiness. So, the logic must go, the pedophile’s champion is God’s champion is our champion. We should emulate them.

“His continued presence in the Vatican is necessary, otherwise he might be defenseless. He wouldn’t have his immunity, his prerogatives, his security, if he is anywhere else,” said one Vatican official, speaking on condition of anonymity.

“It is absolutely necessary” that he stays in the Vatican, said the source, adding that Benedict should have a “dignified existence” in his remaining years.

and

“Documents from the 1980s have been unearthed which conclusively show Archbishop Roger M. Mahony purposefully and intentionally worked to cover-up the sexual abuses of children. Due to this vile revelation the public has scorned Mahony, to which he says he forgives them for their anger. How generous of him.”

This same God has other ‘holy places’, like Israel. The prison city of Palestine was given to it by God in order for Israel to have as many moving targets as it would need, whenever it needed them. It is Israel’s ant colony; their magnifying glasses (drones) moving over the charred remains of children, women, men, hospitals and schools. This giant shooting range serves to hone their ability to kill without mercy and without thought. Their leaders want it to be so, to psychologically train their people to seek power over others by shooting humans in a barrel. Thus, God wants it to be so.

So, with centuries of suffering crystallizing the Jewish identity of being Chosen, usually due to the bizarre machinations of their leaders, is it any wonder why they now emulate them? In the end their leaders profit from this victimhood. By extension then, God does too. Their bizarre stranglehold over American politics and their ability to wage war, both through deception and in cold blood, results in power. For many who look back on the great ship of human history and see the river of blood that flows in its wake, this power must feel euphoric every once in a while. Or all the time. Methamphetamine does too. And the results are similar. God’s plan all along was to get us high on blood.

The Israeli veterans’ organization Breaking The Silence has documented numerous confessions over the last nine years.

These shocking admissions from Israeli soldiers document the maltreatment of Palestinians under Israeli occupation. The confessions prove that the immoral behavior seen in the disturbing images posted on Israeli soldiers’ Instagram accounts, as revealed by The Electronic Intifada’s Ali Abunimah, are not the case of a few bad apples.

In response to the question why a soldier comes and takes pictures of “his commander beating up an Arab,” the sergeant replies:

It’s a game, like getting pictures taken with a woman’s underwear and bra (the witness told about such an incident at a Palestinian home in the Ramallah area, earlier in the interview). So that’s how it is…

Iraq and Afghanistan, I mean Yemen and Pakistan, I mean… well, the entire world-battleground serves similar purposes for America, but America has a slightly different history. After centuries of multi-culturalism, it certainly does not have a solid ethnic identity. And that makes some people angry. It makes God angry. So God has a plan for Christians in the United States. It might be the other way around, depending on whether you have a bad attitude or not. The rallying cry of the Dominionists, the Christian Right, the Religious Right or whatever you want to call them, is this: “this is a Christian nation”. Many of their followers are hell-bent on reclaiming an identity for this country, and ‘Christian’ is of course the way to go.

The powerful for-profit prison industry has teamed up with the secretive, ‘war through deception’ Religious Right to both secure a steady flow of inmates and to indoctrinate these inmates with the ‘Christian nation’ attitude. Does it work? Did the Inquisition (minus the torture, for now) work? I’m sure they just share Footprints stories and recite the serenity prayer. In a world where social services are continually being cut, this movement has a wonderful chance to step in and play good cop. After all, they’re filthy rich because God loves them. And they’re able to buy people with all of this money, crowd them into jails, and proselytize for the glory of the Lord. It’s kind of like shooting humans in a barrel. Sounds good.

With the US government allowing for the indefinite detention and even outright murder of anyone the world over for whatever reason, it sure would be nice if the next president were an evangelical Christian. Just imagine what kind of glorious deeds he or she could do to glorify God. Until then, Obama has seen fit to make sure that, in the eyes of God, he will be judged righteous.

Based on interviews with witnesses, victims and experts, the report accuses the CIA of “double-striking” a target, moments after the initial hit, thereby killing first responders.

It also highlights harm “beyond death and physical injury,” publishing accounts of psychological trauma experienced by people living in Pakistan’s tribal northwest region, who it says hear drones hover 24 hours a day.

I can hear it, can you?… “God will know his own”.

And so these are the representatives of God. These are the people we have chosen, in one way or another, to represent us. Walking around in this crazy world, I sometimes catch myself wondering if God actually likes these people. With the way they treat us, he… I’m sorry, ‘He’, must hate us. But there’s so many of us normal types. Or at least there used to be. I just wonder, that’s all.
